Bellingham Breaks UCL Record, Overtakes Casillas

Jude Bellingham has set a new Champions League record as the youngest player to reach 60 appearances. At 23 years and 128 days old, the England midfielder surpassed Real Madrid icon Iker Casillas, who previously held the record at 23 years and 167 days.

This achievement marks another chapter in Bellingham's rapid ascent. He previously became the youngest to hit 50 Champions League games last year. His European career began with Borussia Dortmund in October 2020 when he was just 17. Across his 60 games for Dortmund and Real Madrid, Bellingham has contributed 16 goals and 14 assists.
